Group 7-day waking average?

merrymunky said:
Woke to a 4.8 today. Didn’t sleep much last night as I went in for some monitoring as baby had a fairly quiet day yesterday. I wasn’t worried as such but just wanted to check she wasn’t in any distress. She was fine. Not much movement there but heart beat perfect. She went nuts when I got home though at 1am and I was awake at gone 4am again with her wiggling happily. Always best to check though.

Just got to make it to next Tuesday and she will be induced!!

Hope everyone is ok.

We're all behind you! 🙂
 
Hello everyone, sorry not been around, I have been busy, Zoom calls etc.

5.2 this morning

According to recent findings, being overweight and diabetic, I am at great risk of catching, and developing complications, of covid 19, oh, deep joy.
As if this whole thing wasn't scary enough........
Stay safe everyone
 
11:29 BS 8.5. Definitely with DP as I was awake since 9am but, still VERY tired & tried to get back to sleep: couldn’t & have just given up on that; stomach is rumbling & I need to eat so, definitely can’t sleep NOW! 🙄

I hesitate a bit about telling you lot this as it’ll probably make me sound like a mad woman but, I’m among friends & I don’t really mind you all laughing at my madness!😉

I was reading in bed before going to sleep as usual when little flying, fleeting shadows of moths kept flying across the light beam of my bedside lamp. It was driving me crazy so, I got up & went chasing them around the room with the broom handle I used to use for physio excercises, still can’t do them & it’s been stretches only now for ages, little knowing, at the time, it would take me 2 hours to get all 3 of the little “buzzards”, what I called them in my head: being only 155cm, 5ft 1.5 inches tall, arm length of 23 inches from shoulder to wrist & only my right arm able to extend to that 23 inches; I was clambering over, up & down on pieces of furniture to be able to reach the ceiling, where they always came to rest on, to get the “buzzards”!🙄 The trouble was my aim was TERRIBLE: the tiny diameter of the handle, no broom attached, didn’t help & it took me SO long to improve my aim!😱 I FINALLY got all of them & sat down on the bed absolutely exhausted & breathless: all that clambering over furniture up & down zapped more energy than I realised; went unnoticed by me as I was on a MISSION with my stubborn streak kicking in BIG time!😱🙄😛.Was 23:31 & close enough to midnight so, had my Levemir & went to bed! Exhausted emoji!

Oh gosh!😱 Just seeing THAT in black & white text now: I DO sound a mad woman; but, my “dander was up” & I HAD to get the little “buzzards”!😳:D😱🙄

Anyway, after THAT little glimpse into HOW crazy I can get at times, I wish you all a Wonderful Day full of Super Bright Sunshine, to warm you up as well @Northerner , on the inside & outside!😉😎:D

Off to breakfast as my tummy rumbles are getting seismic! 😱
 
Please can I have a drum roll and fanfare because at long last I got that elusive 5.2 "Hazel Special". Great to see I am in good company with the champion herself today! Congrats @Hazel Good to see you back on form.

I have to confess that is was a slightly engineered HS though, in that I woke up at 4am having nightmares and after having a bad hypo (2.3) at a similar time the night before I was convinced I must be hypo again, so got up and tested only to find I was 9.4 (I had reduced my Levemir by one unit to prevent another hypo and it worked a bit too well) so I jabbed myself 1.5 units of Fiasp as a correction, then went back to bed but then convinced myself it was too much and I was at risk of hypo yet again. Slept fitfully and woke up at 6am having more bad dreams. Tested again and I was 5.9. Felt knackered and went back to bed but slept much better and woke up at 8am to get my very long awaited House Special. Can't tell you how ecstatic I was!

@Michael12421 very sorry to hear you are battling another infection or perhaps the previous one just didn't fully clear. Please let us know how you get on with medical assistance. Hopefully the blood is just a small broken capillary due to inflammation and nothing more serious. Keeping fingers crossed you are better soon. That must be really scary when you are on your own. I know most hospitals here are trying to encourage people with non Covid-19 problems to attend as normal and since Spain is also over the peak, I think they will be the same and you should not hesitate to go to hospital if you feel you need to.
 
Oh yes! Doctor telephoned me whislt I was walking the dogs - he said that he had a few extra moments to spare so he telephoned today rather than tomorrow. I was at pains to tell him that I needed 36 tablets rather than 24. I told him of the excessive blood so he added another tablet to get rid of the blood. Pharmacy only had 24 tablets but they will order the extra ones and I can pick them up in the morning. Relief.
 
“Da da da da da!” Trumpet fanfare for @rebrascora ! Well done on your first HS! :D😛😉

Oohh! I well remember what it felt like to get my very first one & I still haven’t had many of them so, each one feels SO great to achieve! 🙄😉😎:D😛

SEE! You CAN & DID do it: now go on keeping on at this diabetes control malarky & you can get more HS; maybe not as many as @Hazel but, you can definitely get more! 2 Thumbs up!! emoji! & Clapping emoji!😉😎:D😛

Ps:-Sooh! THAT’S how to spell ecstatic: I put that word in twice in my post at the time & spelt it wrong both times; Ted @KARNAK picked up on it & said he forgave me my spelling when he congratulated me! 🙄:D😉😎
 
@Lanny.... Thanks for the fanfare!
If it is any consolation I almost always start typing it with an ex (it's just too tempting not to) and then realise that it doesn't look right with an x followed by an s and then I remember it's a c not an x.

@KARNAK...Ted, please get in touch if you can. We are all starting to get really worried about your absence here and missing you. X
 
Good afternoon, everyone🙂

I woke up this morning on 6.2. The reason I think this is wonderful is because of the more or less dead straight line on the Libre overnight. Even two hours later, it was 6.7. That ends weeks of experimentation with evening Levemir doses and timing. Or it was an one time lucky break😎

I’m sitting on the balcony, basking in the warm out of direct sunlight while I can, before the freezing temperatures predicted (along with possible flurries of snow) this weekend. That’s the jet stream taking a Spring holiday dip to the south of us, and who can blame it?

Anyway, I’m getting a Tesco delivery tomorrow. And I’m just about to start Mr Panasonic going on a fresh loaf of wholemeal bread, because the delivery is a priority one, and could arrive any time between 10.00 and 18.00. That means I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have scrambled eggs on toast for brunch.

Planning ahead, that’s me.🙂

Unlike a certain government I could mention...

Stay safe folks.

By the way, folks, when it comes to easing lockdown, pay attention to what Nicola Sturgeon tells Scotland, not what Boris tells England. She tells the hard truth, not what businessmen want to hear.
 
I was woken by bs of 2.1, treated but dropped to 1.6 before climbing, taken until now to feel something near normal, it hit me quite hard..a tad to much background insulin i think.
 
Good grief! I CAN’T like that post @brisr949 ! 😱 Poor you! I’m wiped out in terms of energy with hypos in the 2mmol range: lowest I’ve ever had was 2.3 pre dawn on 01/06/15 before setting off on my plane journey to Hong Kong to see my mum before she died from pancreatic cancer; it was a nightmare journey with my BS dropping the whole day, kept me testing & drinking fruit juices! Thank goodness I haven’t had many in that range as the 3mmol range is bad enough!:(

I think your basal insulin needs reducing? Mine always does, along with bolus, in the Spring after Winter!:confused:

I have one finger that has triggered again, and the arthritis in my thumb has flared up which is now very swollen and just will not go down. I am struggling to weave at present, and having to do what I do much more slowly. I have finally given in and was surprised when I got an appointment within two weeks. It might still be a long wait for the op.

Oh dear. Is the triggered finger completely frozen? Poor you.
 
A little late to say waking average ! But 4.5 when I woke at 9am. No idea how I’ll manage when we go back to school and I have to be there early!

@merrymunky you're almost there hope you get a little More rest/sleep tonight

@Michael12421 pleased Dr rang you and hope tablets have kicked in.

@brisr949 hope you’re felling better.

@Kaylz did you get your Kit Kat’s?

Hope everyone else had a good day
 
05:18 BS 6.0. 🙂 It’s nice to wake up pre dawn again, haven’t been doing that for a while now & been a slug-a-bed! AND just as I started to compose& type this the birdies have started their songs!😛

Last night was chilly & just going to the bathroom just now was still quite cold! Shivering emoji! But, tucked up & sitting in my bed again & warming up nicely. Definitely not hungry yet so, my usual half oatcake & half breakfast dose, now 10 units Novorapid, to stop DP! 🙄

Haven’t been able to say this in a while! A very early Good Morning to you all! Have a Wonderful Day full of Sunshine on the inside & outside! 😉😛😎:D
 
Good morning all, hope you are well.

4.2 for me today.

Need to pop out for some 'essential' and dodge the idiots who do not know the meaning of social distancing.
Have safe day peeps
 
Morning all,
To quote Victor Meldrew "I don't believe it!"
A 5.3 again three days in a row!

Have a blessed day,
Snowwy
 
Good morning all. A 6.5 today. Normal for me, but what’s normal these days? I’m back to my early rising again. I like it, it’s peaceful and gives me time to think. Although I can tend to overthink at the moment. It’s Thursday, bird feeding day along, with a Monday. If I was so inclined, I could feed them everyday as they are so greedy but they need to stand on their own two feet at this time of year. Other than that, nothing planned except a bit of pottering about the garden maybe. Forecast decent again. Have a safe day everyone.🙂
 
Morning All, I had a 6.8 this morning for me , have the best day possible and stay safe
 
4.7 this morning. 🙂
Grey and rainy so far today. :(
Can't have everything I suppose.

Stay safe and well.

Dez
